How to turn on Jobs without turning the forum into LinkedIn
  1. Enable the Job template for staff.
  2. Require an apply URL (entity_url).
  3. Put the workplace in location, or leave it as Remote.
  4. Close the job by locking the topic. Do not delete it.
  5. Keep member gigs out of Announcements.

Salary is optional. Honesty is not.
